He made the call when he addressed hundreds of enthusiastic supporters of the National Democratic Congress(NDC) at the forecourts of the Techiman Palace. Flt. Lt.Rawlings, whose address was regularly intercepted by cheers of support and excitement, also called on Ghanaians to hold all Presidential candidates to their promise of combating corruption.
